IT security - Data thefts due to stolen and lost devices as well as unauthorized access to corporate networks are compromising the personal information of company employees and customers, opening the doors to identity fraud.  Traditional forms of authentication based on something you know, such as passwords, are no longer sufficient.

The cost of passwords – Corporate password policies require the use of complex passwords that need to be changed regularly, causing employees to forget their passwords and contact their IT support desks for help.  Employees who are unable to login into corporate applications suffer productivity losses while help desks are burdened with maintaining and resetting passwords.  Enterprises spend an estimated $13,798 annually per mobile professional on password-related issues.
